99 Red Balloons Lyrics - Sleeping At Last

You and I in a little toy shop 

buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got 

Set them free at the break of dawn 

'Til one by one, they were gone 

Back at base, bugs in the software 

Flash the message, "Something's out there" 

Floating in the summer sky 

99 red balloons go by. 

99 red balloons floating in the summer sky 

Panic bells, it's red alert 

There's something here from somewhere else 

The war machine, it springs to life 

Opens up one eager eye 

Focusing it on the sky 

As 99 red balloons go by.

99 Decision Street, 99 ministers meet 

To worry, worry, super-scurry 

Call out the troops now in a hurry 

This is what we've waited for 

This is it boys, this is war 

The president is on the line 

As 99 red balloons go by. 

99 Kriegsminister 

Streichholz und Benzinkanister 

Hielten sich für schlaue Leute 

Witterten schon fette Beute 

Riefen: Krieg und wollten Macht 

Mann, wer haette das gedacht 

Dass es einmal soweit kommt 

Wegen 99 Luftballons

99 dreams I have had 

In every one a red balloon 

It's all over and I'm standin' pretty 

In the dust that was a city 

If I could find a souvenir 

Just to prove the world was here... 

And here it is, a red balloon 

I think of you and let it go. 

For the children, everywhere.
